Many people on the web today don't receive more than one IP number from their internet service provider, which traditionally limits them to a single web server. However, with OctaGate Switch™ you can maintain several web servers on a single IP address.

OctaGate Switch™ even lets you break a single website into several web servers. Slow parts can be placed on a separate server. That way, slow operations don't bog down the main web server.

OctaGate Switch™ also allows you to place several stand alone web applications on the same domain, without using different ports.
